This game genuinely rewired my brain. I’ve been playing since version 0.31.12 long before the Steam release and it has been so far the best simulation game that has ever been made. You don’t ever really "quit" this game you just bide your time between updates, dreaming of what it will become next. Even in its current state, it offers more depth than you could ever ask for.
That said, I wouldn’t recommend it if your taste leans heavily toward fast action or skinner-box reward systems. This isn’t the kind of game that showers you with dopamine every 30 seconds. Instead, you make your own fun… while the game quietly sharpens a knife behind your back. You’ll set goals, build stories, get attached to things, and then watch them collapse in spectacular fashion.
Remember: losing is fun. Especially when it’s your fault. And sometimes even when it absolutely isn’t.
C++ 언어로 하드 코딩 된 게임 그리고 복잡한 구성의 문장 구조로 영어 이외의 언어 지원이 어렵지만
현재 창작 마당에서 모드와 DFHack 을 이용해 아직 완벽하지는 않지만 게임을 하는 데에 큰 불편 없이
일부 내용들을 한국어로 보면서 플레이 할 수 있게 되었습니다.
해당 게임은 림월드의 제작사가 큰 영감을 받았다고 한 것처럼 큰 기반들이 매우 유사하여
이러한 장르의 게임을 즐겼더라면 어느 정도 부딪히면서 게임을 즐길 수 있습니다.
하지만 처음부터 맨 땅에 헤딩을 하자는 식으로 게임에 접근하게 된다면 여러번 새로 시작해야 할 수 있습니다.
게임을 시작하기전에 앞서 일단은 드워프 포트리스 위키 https://dwarffortresswiki.org/ 에 들어가
크롬이나 기타 웹 브라우저를 통해 번역을 켜고 진행 절차를 보면서 따라하고
이해 되지 않는 부분은 유튜브를 통해 참고 하면 좋습니다.
매니악적인 게임이다 보니 한국어 영상들이 적고 있더라도 깊게 파고 들이게은 내용들이 부실한게 많습니다.
이왕이면 영어로 된 가이드 영상들을 보시는 걸 추천합니다.
일반적으로 유튜브 자막 보다는 languagereactor 라는 크롬 웹브라우저 확장 프로그램으로도 사용 가능한 것을 설치하여 영상들을 참고하시면 꽤 매끄러운 한국어 번역으로 영상을 보기 좋습니다.
그리고 드워프 포트리스는 렉이 심하다는 말들이 많은데 위에서 말했듯 방대한 시뮬레이션 때문에
규모가 커질수록 프레임 드랍이 생길 수 있습니다.
이 부분도 가이드 영상들을 찾아보면 특정 설정과 그리고 게임 방식을 이용해 이를 줄일 수 있습니다.
예시로 든다면 기본 정착지 규모는 4x4 이지만 큰 정착지를 가지고 싶어 이보다 크게 한다던가
계단을 너무 나도 많이 만들어 많은 변수로 인해 더 많은 연산을 하게 한다던지
번식이 빠른 동물을 관심도 안주고 방치했다가 너무 많이 번식 한다던지
해가 뜨고 지고 온도가 오르고 내리고 등 날씨 효과나 온도 표시를 키고 끄는 것 등
여러 옵션 타협을 통해 위에서 말한 프레임 드랍과 렉을 줄일 수 있으니 가이드 영상을 한번 보시고
자신에게 맞게 설정하는 것을 추천합니다.
그리고 게임의 튜토리얼만 보고 게임을 즐기기에는 많이 부족합니다.
튜토리얼이 끝나자마자 당장 무엇을 해야할지 몰라 그저 땅만 파다가 여러 문제들이 생기면서
결국 큰 문제가 터져 이제 어떻게 하지 하며 게임을 끄게 되기 때문입니다.
위의 가이드 영상을 보라고 했지만 그래도 추천 팁을 드린다면
1. 처음 정착지 선택을 할 때 인근에 고블린이 없는 정착지를 선택
2. 초보자라면 근처에 흐르는 강이 있지만 꼭 대수층이 없는 지형을 고르기
- 대수층이 있어도 우회하고 벽을 매끄럽게 하거나 벽을 설치, 펌프로 물 빼기 등 이 있지만
초보자가 하기에는 시간과 위험성이 커서 피하는거를 추천합니다.
3. 모래와 점토, 플럭스 암석이 꼭 있는 지형을 고르기
- 강철을 만들 때 필요한 플럭스와 여러 재료의 기반이 되는 모래와 점토는 없으면 진행을 전혀 못하는건 아니지만 있는게 훨씬 편안합니다.
4. 초반 저장소를 지을 때 모든 물품을 선택하지 않기
- 처음 튜토리얼 할 때 저장소를 짓고 그곳에 모든 물품을 선택하는 정도로만 알려줍니다.
하지만 처음 게임을 시작하면 바로 바로 넓은 공간의 땅도 파고 침대나 여러 가구를 만들기 위해
벌목도 시작하게 됩니다.
나무와 돌을 포함 시키게 되면 더 많은 동선을 낭비하고 다른 일을 할 드워프들까지 이를 운반하면서
낭비가 됩니다.
나무와 돌은 어느정도 생산 시설이 갖추어 지면 목공소와 석공 작업대 근처에 적당한 크기를 지어놓고
따로 보관을 하면 해당 제작 시설에서 동선이 줄어들어 더 빠른 생산이 가능합니다.
5. 처음 마차가 있는 지형의 바로 아래에 거점을 짓지 않기
- 지상 표면 바로 한 층 아래에 땅을 파다가 지상의 나무까지 벌목하다 보면 나무 뿌리가 파괴되면서 지상에 구멍이 생깁니다. 이 구멍에는 동물들이 빠져서 들어올 수 있고 심지어 나중에 침략한 적군도 쉽게 들어올 수 있습니다.
이러한 경우 지상 표면에 바닥이나 지하에서 벽을 세워도 되지만
여러 행동이 많아지다 보면 지나치기 쉽고 심지어 하나 하나 신경 쓰면서 하기에는 머리가 아프죠.
6. 추후 아이가 태어난다면 꼭 설정에서 아이가 옮길 물건에 시체나 뼈 등을 체크 해제 하자
- 해당 게임의 드워프들은 본인에게 우선 순위가 높은 일들을 먼저 처리하는데 아이들의 경우 따로 채광, 벌목, 생산 등의 일을 하지 않기 때문에 일반적으로 물건을 옮기는 시간이 많습니다. 그런데 이 아이들의 경우 물건을 옮기게 되면
이후 할게 없으면 그 자리에서 멍청하게 가만히 있는데 이러다 보니 시체를 옮기고 그 자리에 가만히 있으면서
기분이 매우 안 좋게 됩니다.
7. 생산층과 침실 공간을 분리
- 게임을 진행하면 할수록 다른 곳에서 유입되는 드워프들과 그리고 드워프들 사이에서 태어나는 아이들까지
늘어나면서 결국 이를 위해 더 많은 음식과 술, 그리고 이를 받침할 생산 건물들도 필요 합니다.
처음부터 작은 공간에 이를 몰아 넣는 다면 이후 확장해야 하는 공간 때문에 더 많은 시간을 소모 하게 됩니다.

I would play dwarf fortress 24/7 if i could. I can't explain why, but even the busy work and chore of managing work orders is so satisfying. All of you need to buy this though so that Bay 12 can get back to their main project, liberal crime squad 2
Готов изменить отзыв, пока отрицательный.
Довольно давно играл в эту игру ещё до выхода и пару сотен часов на пиратке пока не купил на распродаже.
Игра по сути уникальная в своём роде, фентезийна матрица с множеством возможностей, фактический лучшая симуляция жизни в своём роде на мой взгляд.
Но множество проблем подрывают впечатление это:
1. Кривая система интеграции с режимом приключений(Не до конца видимо проработанная), так как даже в крошечном мире от переключений туда-сюда что-то всегда ломается и вплоть до того что выгружается весь чанк форта что вместо него многие блоки заменяются воздухом или форт попросту удаляется и на его место остаётся то что было при его создании по сути перегенерация и всё пропадёт кроме поселенцев, питомцев и артефактов. По сути от переключений туда-сюда что-то обязательно сломается если не в одном месте то в другом уж точно.
2. Виртуальщина портит впечатление, волны мигрантов и осады гоблинов будут приходить даже если не от куда фактический они будут материализоваться. Население гоблинского форта 30 гоблинов, а осада приходит из 50 гоблинов, в режиме приключений и этих 30 гоблинов даже не найти по всей гоблинской башне как внутри так и под землёй но не понятно отуда они берутся. Также когда население на грани то в режиме приключений армии отправляются только из животных что странно, также человеческие города изгоняют лишних животных судя по всему или это из-за каких-то мятежей и все эти звери состоящие из разнообразных животных которых может иметь определённая цивилизация будут разбивать лагеря и жить там. Странно наблюдать когда индики, гуси, кони, собаки, коты и многие прочие животные в лагерях как беженцы сидят, но по крайне мере там можно забрать кого нибудь себе, а в простых лагерях беженцев они просто жиут там и всё и по крайне мере мне не получилось забрать оттуда кого-то.
3. Нет небольших функций которые уже могли бы давно сделать. К примеру при генерации мира дополнительные параметры что определённых мегабистов убрать, если мне нужен мир где будут одни драконы или гидры и ли ещё какие-то определённые существа.
4. Это призраки, да знаю что можно плиту поставить или гроб но почему призрак может убить легендарного приключенца с 1 удара не понятно это какая-то дичь. Причём ладно призрак какого нибудь легендарного дварфа но нет, даже призрак какого нибудь обычного кожевника который только прибыл и упал в колодец... Почему нет функции отключить призраков чтоб они не появлялись вообще или появлялись, когда за 300 голов, то не уследишь когда там кто откинулся, а когда их не мало откидываются они довольно часто и каждые 10 минут отвекаться на то что в очередной раз в таверне кого-то забили, если бы это был какой нибудь легенадрный дварф то это было бы логично но ведь может любой откинутся в любой момент и как в суматохе это увидишь? Хотя бы понерфили их если их нельзя отключить.
С багами и недоработками ещё можно как-то смириться не не с этими 4 мя пунктами.
Głębia tej gry powala na kolana. Warto dać się wciągnąć! ⛏
The OG colony game. I've been playing since before steam and without tiles. It's only gotten better and I'm glad they're picking up more steam on developing.
Be warned though, this title will likely never be finished, always expanding and changing. I hope one day Bay12 revisits LCS, love that game.
The Best
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game keeps pulling me back, it's insane, it's a scary thing.
This is a very nice game, when you enjoy having control over everything. You can manage your dwarves, manage what you cook or brew, how everything looks e.t.c
Don't spend 30 euros for this version to not recommend it saying it's not worth the money when the game is totally free on Toady One's website.
A dwarven child fought a dog, a hen, the mayor, the farmer, a laborer, another child, and several more adults until she died.
100/10 would punch children again
One of the most unique experiences in all of gaming.
The most intricately executed story and lore system of any game ever created.
You aren't playing a game so much as running a fantasy world generator to minute detail.
With adventure mode, you can play in that same world as a roguelike.
11/11 goat of the year
Amaze!
Excruciatingly detailed, but not actually that difficult once you get the hang of its systems. Endless stories to be unearthed if you know where to look for them. Try the free version by all means, but the graphics are completely worth it if you enjoy the game. Highly recommend.
Game is kinda ok but updates are way too rare.
the cat fell into the waterfall
5 days later the cat have been found dead by a dwarf that have fallen down the waterfall
3 days later the dwarf that found the cat have been found dead by an another dwarf that have fallen down the waterfall
in conclusion: [b] do not look at the bottom of the waterfall. [/b]
Never forget that one forgotten beast that killed a 100 dwarfs only to be killed by a muskox
Excellent jeu mais insupportable sans l'outils externe DFHACK disponible dans le magasin steam. Un rimworld poussé à l'extrème tout en multipliant le nombre de colon par 20 et en retirant toutes les automatisations. Purement terrible.
emgergent story telling for those with the ability to find it
I got this game a week ago.
I have not seen the sun in a week.
I'm not saying they're related, but...
I have been playing this game off and on for over 10 years. There is nothing else that comes close to the stories this game can give you.
Slightly difficult to learn, pretty difficult to master, very fun. Abandon Humanity become Dwarf. Dwarf life is hard and burtal. You will suffer. Maybe have your colony be haunted by ghosts. Maybe have a dwarf go mad and become a serial killer. Maybe be crushed by an invasion. Maybe dig too deep and accidently let something in you shouldnt have. Survive Adapt Overcome.
probably the best simulation game ever made.
the steam version is very good for new players that were otherwise overwhelmed by how the game looked and its ui before.
dwarf fortress has its flaws but very few other games come even close on how much this game tries to simulate everything. you might not understand how much is going on unless you go into the files and start looking at the complexity of this game. material density greatly affects combat, both in armor and weapons. temperature, interactions between all sorts of stuff, body parts, secretions. the whole history simulation can make some very fun stuff if you stop to read it. very easy and fun to mod into whatever you want as well so you can make your own experience. the endless replayability of this got me through some of the worst times in my life.
personally i wish there was more challenges to the endgame, ends up being filled with megaprojects and becomes a little too easy if youve played this game for too long (maybe thats my own fault). losing is fun!
Tarn Adams yapacağın oyunu sikiyim , sakın bu oyunu geliştirmeyi bırakma ve ölme
its good, a little to complicated because bad game devs, but overall good
Dwarf Fortress is a cult classic that has captured many hours of my time and influenced the creation of many famous games. Tarn Adams put his heart and soul into a free product that I love and many in the world do as well. Though I cannot recommend the paid version of this game because it has been many years since it went for sale, a small fortune has been made by a pair of brothers living in their mom's house, and not much progress has been made to some of the core promises that were being made about modernizing the look and feel of the antiquated free version. While the roadmap is large, and the code base being ported over into the "new UI" is a seemingly daunting task, the point remains that the Adam's brothers made a conscious decision to create a paid product and open themselves to the court of public opinion. That they are taking money and executing on their promise to deliver results!
I do not care that the code base is alleged to be over 700,000 lines, that they were self taught, or built a large library of spaghetti. The passion project that brought joy to many is not license to take my money and run! What matters is that they are bolting that spaghetti slop into a garbage interface that is unintuitive, bugged, and leaving a lot to the modding community that builds UI through DF Hack. My game crashes frequently, the same culprits being opening doors, movement, and dialogue. In fact, this game is largely unplayable without DF Hack and third party utilities, unless you like memorizing hundreds of key combinations that don't make sense. Which was always a gripe I had in the original DF, but hey, that was free.
What's more, a lot of the features of the free version are simply not "ported" into the paid version. What you get is a watered down version of dwarf fortress with a really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ UI that takes way too many clicks out of your mouse's life. It's been 2 1/2 years at the time of this review and we are still waiting on many adventure mode features from the free version and DF hack had to champion many features left out of the UI in fortress mode.
The Adams brothers have no excuse on this, because they went public with a sale, and the progress is stagnant, the product sub-par, and the bugs, glitches, and lack of content going years unchanged. They are swamped and should have the funds to hire help. They sold over 600,000 copies in the first 24 hours it went on sale! They won't do it because Tarn is seemingly not a trusting fellow and lords over his mountain of spaghetti code like Smeagol and the one ring. He is sitting on a dumpster fire of code and needs to realize his company owns the IP of Dwarf Fortress and letting people sign NDA's and see and work on the code base is in his interest. Tarn is probably more embarrassed he is using magic numbers that only he knows what they are for. I'm old enough to have built applications with magic arrays and get criticized by me peers for doing so!
Save yourself a few bucks and play the free version, it has way more content.
Very interesting and cool game.
I hate this game. It would have been better to just buy crack. At least then I would be leaving the house and interacting with people.
My Dwarfs decided to counter charge the siege attackers for their socks.
I want to to preface this review by saying I have been a long time player of dwarf fortress and truly love this game with every fiber of my being. I want this game to succeed and my negative review is a reflection of that. Mindlessly glazing every aspect of the game is not going to make it better.
Dwarf fortress, as a product, is incredibly flawed. The new player experience is terrible. The various UI menus are incredibly difficult to navigate, and nothing is located where you would expect it to be. This is something you learn to deal with over time, but that doesn't justify it being the way it is. This is a game you will only be successful in if you have the wiki open and constantly use the forums/reddit to learn it's mechanics, which I see as a massive flaw. A lot of the time it feels like I have to trick my dwarves into being productive or fulfilling their needs, because they rarely do it themselves. One example of this is how some dwarves will have an unmet need to be with family, when their family lives right down the hall. I have put countless hours into the pre steam version and will continue to play it on steam for the foreseeable future, but until these flaws are addressed I will have a hard time recommending it to my friends.
It's a fun time, but it's not easy to get into for reasons other than it being challenging.
On a more positive note, many of the game's bigger issues have been successfully addressed and new content has been amazing. FPS death is all but a thing of the past, and the siege update is incredible. We are now being dripfed the magic system and that's going to be amazing when it releases too.
Do I love the game? Yes.
Will I continue to love the game? Also yes.
Can I recommend it to new players? Not really, no.
Don't let my negative review discourage you from purchasing the game. If you are on the fence, play the free version from the Bay12Games website and apply a tileset so you can see what's happening. If you like it, you'll like this version.
There is nothing else like Dwarf Fortress. The breadth of what this game does is unmatched in video gaming history. The learning curve is long and steep, and it's kind of janky, but to me that doesn't matter in the least. Watching my little dwarfs run around, making art, falling in love, getting angry, learning, writing books... it's just incredible. Dwarf Fortress will always be my favourite.
The 500 hours listed here are a small percentage of the time I have played this game. I have been playing DF since just after layers got added to the game, so somewhere around version 0.39. I used to run a fan blog for the game on Tumblr back in the day. I have given Toady money in his donation box. And this was all before it went onto steam. So yes, I recommend this game. The game only continues to get better and better and I can't wait to see what it looks like by time Toady calls it 'done'
Dwarf Fortress is more than a game, it's an obsession. I’ve spent countless weekends weaving stories and building a world for my dwarves. It offers a level of freedom you won't find in any other open world title. But at the end of the day, it all comes down to one thing: digging. We are dwarves, after all, and we're digging a hole. Diggy diggy hole!
Losing is fun.
Not played enough of this game to fully understand it or give a comprehensive review but all I can say is that it is immense, incredibly confusing at first but you pick it up quickly and is designed to generate stories. Best way to describe this game is with anecdotes.
When 3 of my Dwarves were all mysteriously drained of blood and I thought it was all just random animal attacks and armed everyone to the teeth but then I accidentally pressed the Justice menu which I didn't even know existed, found out there were 14 witnesses to my tavern keeper murdering the first guy, so I arrest him, he's released 300 days later, drains someone else's blood and then in interrogation reveals he's the head of a gang who tried to influence the higher power of another fortress (failed) and also has attempted to influence an "unknown creature" to steal some bird shaped object from me like 10 times (each of which counts as a separate crime I can convict him of)
This game looks really confusing and a bit boring but it is really fun when you get into it, Its the granddaddy of all your games give it a chance.
not for me would rather play syx or rimworld
One of the best games of all time - Here is my beginner's guide : https://explorminate.org/dwarf-fortress-beginners-guide/
needs work
my legendary mechanic was beaten to death for building the wrong ballista parts and I only realized when I saw his corpse on the ground
magma
3주쯤 해봤는데 아직도 뭐가 뭔지 잘 모르겠음.
일단 좀 더 하고 와야지
Steep learning curve but I'm having a lot of fun so far. YouTube videos are going to be your best friend while learning the ropes.
You have a team, dedicated to this craft. And the game is a masterfully made one. There are no known bugs for me.
I have managed to fathom a way to find a moria river basin plains map. And have started making moria's keep.
The mountain it's under was manmade in the books.
The game gave me a huge war. And I was slaughtered. Thanks for adding care-bear functions for choosing not to go to war. peacefully.
I don't even know where to start, I love this so much
my favorite game of all time <3
i will play this even as an old raisin and have been playing the ascii game back then for years, which was a thing of its own beauty (and i miss it sometimes). that being said, the steam version has already made huge improvements especially for new players. getting into dwarf fortress was never as easy as now, so dont be intimidated. the music is so good too and it is a lot of fun to watch your dwarves run around, get new gear which changes their looks, dance and sing. all the portraits that were added until now are very cool and it is fun to look at how the ascii creatures you imagined for all those years differ from how the creatures are depicted now in pixel art.
so many crazy things can happen in this game if you pay attention and these events are amongst the most memorable that have happened to me during any game. i remember dwarves, fortresses and events from years ago, just because they left such an impression and it is fun to get to know your dwarves.
the combat is brutal, but can be goofy at the same time (when they attack with a sock or bite someone in their left eyelid) and i love the combat style (not hp-based, but depending on limbs, blood etc). i love creating intricate fort designs which can look like abstract art if you want them to.
if you love building, this game features lots and lots of possibilities from beautiful fortresses to creating crazy contraptions or traps too and all the z-levels to build on multiple floors are so essential to the building and digging being fun. i guess you have to be willing to read a lot, even now that we are not in the ascii game anymore, and also be able to set goals for yourself and search for some of the interesting stuff, bc if you dont some of it can just go by undetected, but to me this is not a flaw of the game and rather an incentive: there is not really any predefined goal or some quest telling you what do to next or where to go. you have to be the type of person to enjoy that, or else you might feel lost in this game.
there are some minor bugs (like militia dwarves that are also assigned to mining or tree cutting seem to run around constantly switching between their working and their combat weapons), but i have not encountered anything game breaking and have also not had problems with crashes at all.
i love seeing how the game has developed over all those years and it is such a remarkable project in the history of games. there is so much detail and thought in even the tiny details, you can even drink your own tears (as an adventurer) lol what a magnum opus this game is, i am still really impressed by the achievement of creating such an immense project and by how Tarn and Zach are still giving the game so much attention after all those years <3
Masterpiece
Rimworld with elven racism
Rim World extreme
Нужно еще немного времени, чтобы разобраться до конца
Over 10 years of enjoying this game and watching it grow. It's really great fun and lots of FUN :D Dive in experience new adventures and enjoy the thrill of losing.
its good, so good
DWAFF FOWTWESS
You're going to build an incredibly complex Dwaf Hall, and then you'll be destroyed, Nevertheless, you'll try again, and suffer an even more horrible fall of civilization; however, you don't just roll over like that and will come back even stronger, because magma and a new taste for weapons, armor and inter-species violence, you will still be killed off to a dwarf, and come back again with traps and more magma.
Very fun game with many things to learn.
Rimworld claims to be a story generator
Dwarf fortress is what spawned it, and surpassed it in fantasy world simulation
Seriously, when you play dwarf fortress, don't think of it as a game, think of it as a hyper detailed fantasy world simulator in which you exist and build your fortress.
This game is deeper then your mom, you can build a basic ass fortress that sustains itself, forges weapons and runs by itself
You can also delve into the mechanisms of this game, making pump-stacks to pump water from the depths into your fortress, maybe even use the water defensively to wash away those dirty goblins and tree loving knife ears
then, discover adamantine, forge the sharpest weapons, delve too deep, unleash demons on your world, die
just remember, that losing is fun :)
Insane and hilarious, complex and satisfying, world-building and resource management sim. Every fort goes differently, with new problems, new terrors, new moments of hilarity. It is very rewarding to take time to zoom in on your dwarfs, get to know their network and skills and personalities and tastes, notice that one of them has somehow acquired the affections of ten different cats and then feel horrified when they were all eaten by a Giant Cave Spider that broke into the fort because the militia unit who were supposed to be guarding the caverns entrance were all off duty in the tavern drinking mushroom ale and listening to a visiting elf bard sing a song...
The game does have a very steep learning curve, which is well-served by tutorials and let's-play videos online, and I feel half of the battle is learning how to naviage the menus (decades of development have meant there are some mismatches and misunderstandings in labels and task descriptions). I kept a notebook at first to figure it out but now it's second nature. I'm a casual player, usually with minimal hostility, but I still find plenty fulfilling stuff to do and always find something to make me laugh ("Why is there a llama in the hospital?!")
There's no way to win this game, but a million different ways to have Fun. Strike the earth!
Everything was going well with some farms set up and a population of about 20, then some guy I'd never heard of started killing everyone because he was pissed about the rain. 10/10
cool
Urist Makstone рекомендует
I thought this would be too complex or difficult for me. Turns out the worst issueis that it is addictive. I have my first fort that has been going on and I am waiting to lose so I can start testing other locations :D Fun!
Am I the crazy one? I played it for a bit and cannot stand the UI and controls. I watched a bunch of reviews and wanted to like it, but this just isn't for me.
Maybe one day I'll come back and try it again, but if you don't like clunky controls, I cannot recommend this game.
Grade: D
The game is hard to get into, but once you learn the very basics (took me 30 hours and multiple game restarts) it starts to click, and turns a lot of fun. Understanding what is going on gives a lot of satisfaction.
In Germanic mythology, a dwarf is a small human-shaped being that dwells in mountains and in the earth, and is variously associated with wisdom, smithing, mining, and crafting.
Dwarfs are often also described as short and ugly, although some scholars have questioned whether this is a later development stemming from comical portrayals of the beings. The concept of the dwarf has had influence in modern popular culture and appears in a variety of media.
The concept of the dwarf has had influence in modern popular culture and appears in a variety of media.
Beyond the Proto-Germanic reconstruction, the etymology of the word dwarf is highly contested. Scholars have proposed theories about the origins of the being by way of historical linguistics and comparative mythology, including that dwarfs may have originated as nature spirits.
amazing game by amazing people. <3
Yeah cool game but no one gives a ♥♥♥♥ about the elaborate and extensive world creation if you cant fix dwarves robbing other dwarfs of stepladders, leaving them stranded in trees.
One of the GOAT games. The OG colony sim, one of the inspirations of Minecraft, this game is the real deal.
Amazing game
There are innumerable facets to the broken bloodied mirror of Armok, my his terror reign ever more.
You will buy the game.
queria portugues e queria que desfalecessem o jogo
Recomendable, este juego es infinito, nunca sera igual una partida de otra
[h3]Before you buy this, let me paraphrase and/or copy from the wiki, the armor mechanic and how to equip your dwarves:[/h3]
[b]In order for a dwarf to equip an item, the following conditions must be met:[/b]
- Armor must be equipped in the order of the layers given. determines if they are eligible to wear the item in question (perhaps the body part is missing/severed); The layers are 'under', 'over', 'armor', and 'cover'.
- must start with the lowest layer first, continuing to the next layer when no other items of that layer need to be equipped;
- checks if the item is shaped [S] and will only equip the item if no other shaped items are equipped on that body part;
- considers the item with the lowest permit value first. If two items share the same permit value, the highest-size item would be equipped first;
- checks if the total size of items on each body part the current item would cover (excluding the current item's size) is less than or equal to the current item's permit level.
- in case of an Armor layer item, also checks whether its own size + permit value is greater than the total size of items already on the body part.
- in case of any non-Cover item, checks whether the total size of items in the same layer including the current item is less than the smallest permit value among these items.
[i]The uniform can consist of each of the layers mentioned. But not all items can be worn together. The item layer is not given in the item description in the game. [u]You will have to check the wiki to confirm layers.[/u] It is common to see a dwarf equip pants with no undergarments due to this restriction, even when an undergarment is available. Not having a particular layer or correct armor type will leave your dwarf susceptible to damage, so be sure to look through all 15 types of chest armor (for example), and their material variants to correctly choose. There are 21 different body parts to protect. To effectively use the armor, dwarves must train and have a place to work as armored dwarves, so you will have to also create zones and buildings for this. A fully trained dwarf can move at twice the speed of an untrained one. Be aware that combat speed and movement are two different mechanics not covered here. Also be aware that different races have different armor requirements, and dwarves cannot wear human armor.[/i]
[b]To set custom made armor for your dwarves, and effectively use it:[/b]
1. Create a squad by opening up the squad menu.
2. Assign a leader to that squad from among your dwarves.
3. Create a uniform using the "equip" button.
4. Choose what armor pieces you would like for the uniform for each layer for the head, arms, legs, feet, hands, and head, using the rules and guidelines mentioned above.
5. Assign the armor to your squad as a uniform and let the dwarves self-equip.
6. Ensure your dwarves have the correct PERMIT value, otherwise they will be over-encumbered and unable to attack. See #Layer_Size.2C_Permit.2C_and_layering_armor on the wiki for more details.
7. Set a training area using the 'zone' function to specify a barracks for the gear, and another zone for training, and assign those dwarves to the area.

[h3]If this armor mechanic alone interests you, then enjoy the game! Every single system in the game is more in-depth and detailed than this, and is intriguing in it's own right.[/h3]
[h3]Otherwise, if you aren't reading all that, definitely look elsewhere.[/h3]

Awful "game", if I can even call it that. It takes longer than 2 hours just to understand what's going on, which exceeds Steam's refund policy.
Incredibly boring, needlessly complex, and it provides zero motivation to keep playing once you understand what this "game" consists of (nothing).
Also, very expensive for how little it provides.
Do yourself a favour and buy Rimworld instead.
Very overwhelming at first, and even with all my hours I still don't feel like I know what I am doing.
Or when I finally DO feel like I know what I am doing, crap hits the fan and I have to start over.
10/10 my favourite game to be bad at.
As someone who's followed dwarf fortress for a long time and played the classic versions prior to Steam, It's disappointing that ASCII mode hasn't been fleshed out. There is so much personality to the ASCII version that is missing from the graphical. Example: Ocean waves/water in general, dancing & music, moods.
There is a sizable number of old players IMO that would love to play but prefer using their own tilesets or the classic ASCII graphic (Including me!). The developers need to just bite the bullet and implement a proper ASCII mode with fixed UI scaling. It's just not playable at this point and there doesn't seem to be any intent to fix it!
confuso demais, pra jogar precisa de um TCC, e não ter dublagem em Português triplica o problema, pois é tanto microgerenciamento que sua cabeça trava
challenging dwaft work, as it should be
ничего не понял, но очень интересно
amazing simulation game, so much to do
I'm 44 hours in and I feel like I just installed it. Everything in this game needs an external tutorial and a wiki page. Mastering this game must really be satisfying.
Also get DFHack on Steam too, as it helps a lot.
Edit: It clicked. HOOOOLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Losing is fun
I love Rimworld, so I give it a thumbs up.
But the tutorial is awfull. Didn´t even managed to build the first stairs .
be back later
It is a freaking awesome game. I really missed it.
Who am I to review this game? A ordinary nobody and this game is a cult classic. This game is massively complex. Coming to this game from other (later) games like RImworld, geez the Dwarves are stupid. On at least two attempts they die of thirst rather than stop working. I tried the roaming character mode - it's a very different game - but didn't get far at that. What I'm saying is if you are a more casual gamer... like 99% of us... this game is probably too much for you.
I like this game. Ultimate OG
Спасибо двум старым бородатым лысакам eбaным, что добавили весёлую функцию отката прогресса в виде кнопки вылета из игры ♥♥♥♥♥, которая случайным образом появляется на твоей клавиатуре, при вводе в строку поиска создания определённого предмета. 20 лет работы над игрой, а наxyя, гайсы?? 20 лет исправления багов, пидoрacы все никак не могут баги исправить. Гномики не видят броню, расположенную в ящиках, уже год примерно, зато в недавних обновлениях добавили гномикам БОЛЕЕ АГРЕССИНВЫЙ ПОИСК ЕДЫ ВЫСОКОГО КАЧЕСТВА.
Still one of the best games
还有什么好说的，如果我这辈子只能玩一个游戏，那一定是矮人要塞

My favorite review of this game reads
"Going from playing Rimworld to playing Dwarf Fortress is like going from reading about Cthulhu to meeting him in person."
It is not a difficult game. Its reputation as brutally unforgiving is unearned. It's not action-packed. And it's not a masterwork of storytelling.
What it is is a maze. A fascinating ancient crumbling labyrinth, still in use! Still added to. Strange old janky mechanics, strange new janky mechanics, weird side mechanics, deeply intricate mechanics with no impact on gameplay. Your dwarves have elaborate personalities and you have to pick what their socks are made of.
So, settle in. Turn down the population cap and make a lil outpost to learn the ropes. Design the best fort! Then the worst one. A thousand hours later you will still be finding weird new details.
Cthulhu is really into procgen poetic forms.
Absolutely love the game; that being said I can only go so long before I get annoyed by some of the mechanics of the game. Dwarves dying from dehydration because of the difficulties of keeping up with brewing (probably need to research this aspect more) as well as them not being smart enough to walk over to the water before they die of thirst is simply silly. Then the fact you get around 200 dwarves and they start dying so often that you spend the majority of your time making slabs for there memory so they do not turn into ghosts that you have no time to do anything else.
To be fair I love building games and Dwarves, I like the game, but again it simply gets to the point that i am doing or trying to focus on certain things that I do not even have time do the parts of the game i look forward to doing. I hope eventually I put enough time into figuring out the planting and brewing, or how to get seeds to keep the plants going underground. Perhaps I can figure out where to put or how to destroy the tons of rock and ores i move out of the earth to build my Dwarf fortress. Again I love the game, I just do not have the patience to read hundreds of hours of guides to play the game. It is one of those issues of getting bored because it is to simple (not the case with Dwarf Fortress for me) or getting bored because I am done doing research on how to make the game playable.
Put in more research and more hours and still have the issue with dehydration. Gets to the point that i have dinning room, Stills to brew and storage with drinks every where, yet I still lose a person every minute or so on average, getting kind of dumb. Have to take a break because of the annoyance of it all; again, probably need to do MORE research to figure it out, but gets frustrating when you have to ask every one else how to fix something as basic as getting a drink to stay alive.
My fortress is being slowly taken over by cultish humans visiting my fortress to go monster slaying in the caverns.
bom so falta a tradução ne mais to esperando a 5 anos
Maybe the best game ever made?

WHAT ARE YOU READING THE REVIEWS FOR??!!!! S T R I K E! T H E! E A R T H!
the love child of 2 brothers. in a world busting with Art, Dwarf Fortress still after 20 plus years stands alone as one of the most unique and best video games you can get your hands on. most of that time they did it for free. absolute legends.
